Despite a valiant effort, The Brave TV show has been cancelled by NBC. In this instance, the 13-episode first season wasn’t a sign of certain cancellation, as a shorter season aways the plan for this series. In November, after some early gains in the Nielsens, the Peacock Network was even touting the show’s ratings, but they later dropped off and weren’t strong enough to score a season two renewal.

An NBC military drama, The Brave stars Anne Heche, Mike Vogel, Natacha Karam, Demetrius Grosse, Noah Mills, Hadi Tabbal, Tate Ellington, and Sofia Pernas. The series centers on Captain Adam Dalton (Vogel) who leads his Special Ops squad on dangerous field missions across the globe. Back in their Washington D.C. headquarters, D.I.A. Deputy Director Patricia Campbell (Heche) oversees the unit which provides support and analysis for Dalton and company.

The Brave: A Look at the Ratings

The Brave cancellation has been confirmed by Deadline, which notes three military dramas premiered on broadcast networks, this year. Although both The Brave and Valor (The CW) were cancelled, SEAL Team was renewed for a second season on CBSCBS.

What do you think? Did you like The Brave TV series? Did you think NBC would cancel or renew it for a second season?

The Brave is one of the best shows that I’ve watched in a while. Why do all the good tv shows have to get cancelled. BRING IT BACK!!!

The Brave was waaayyy better than The Seal Team. I couldn’t believe that you canceled it.
The Brave was about the show, the story that they changed peoples lives, in a very intricate way. It was fun to watch how they made things right for people who could NOT help themselves. To get imformation the way they did… Great actors to fix the world !!!
Please bring this show back.

This was a good show. Considering there were so many shows to watch, this show had potential.

Really disappointed that this show was cancelled. Yes, too many of this type showed up at the same time – and watching more than one can be too much of the same, so I’m not surprised that one or more would have to be cancelled. I like Seal Team, but this show was better – higher quality in every way. I am hoping it can be re-constructed at a later date.

I enjoyed The Brave and was looking forward to a second season. Its story lines seamed to focus on under cover ops (infiltration of the ememy) which i thought set it apart from the dramas Seal Team and Six. Amongst the shows I’d rate them in this order: 1. Seal Team 2. The Brave 3. Six 4. Valor (did not watch Valor; my capacity for special ops shows was saturated). Season two of Seal Team has been steller.

I really liked this show. It was well acted, well scripted and just an all around great show to watch. It was a very STUPID idea to cancel this show. They need to seriously think about bringing it back. They ought to cancel the show SEAL TEAM, that show is awful.
